The Hidden Toxins Impacting Kids’ Brains. Dr. Potter’s latest blog breaks down a major study on the pesticide chlorpyrifos, which found measurable changes in children’s brain structure and reduced motor skills. Researchers followed 270 babies for 14 years and saw that higher exposure led to greater impairment.

Even though indoor use was banned in 2001, families in agricultural areas—especially pregnant moms and infants—are still being exposed.

In functional medicine, we see these toxin impacts often. Many children with neurodevelopmental concerns show high toxin levels, and once we reduce exposure and support detox pathways, their health often improves.

Read Dr. Potter’s blog and learn how we can help.

Our Story

Our Franklin, TN, based team led by Dr. Eric Potter, Functional MD, has a successful record in restoring health back to patients suffering Chronic Illness. This effective care is also available to patients nationwide through secure video and telephone-based telemedicine following an initial visit.

Sanctuary’s Comprehensive Treatment Program serves as the entry point to many different pathways leading to health restoration.

One such treatment option that may be integrated into our other programs is the Interpretive Genetics Program. We use this genetic study to teach each patient about their unique biological functions and how they interact with each other. From there this report serves as yet another tool helpful in tailoring that patient’s personalized treatment path.

In our Franklin, TN office we’re also pleased to offer IV Therapy when needed as a treatment option. IV therapy can effectively hasten recoveries for those with extenuating circumstances in their illness.
